Right now i got 800RWHP in a 06 GTO thinking about trying to put a th400 in what would be needed? If i turn it up im going for 1000-1200 rwhp
Is the 4l80 the same size as a th400

i know many guys that run Super Gas in NHRA that put down that much power and run 9.90s and dont have any issues whatsoever, the 400 is a very stout trans and if it is built well it can be nearly indestructible

In the middle of a Th400 swap right now in my 99 Camaro. My understanding is built properly in a full weight car (say 35-3700lbs) they work well up to 800-900. After that it's probably time for the Powerglide. I'm sure many have pushed them harder or less but that's the rule of thumb I'm sticking with.
